Fact: America Owns Eastern Europe

The Economist's article on Ukraine corruption seems incredible to me. I mean, it is perfectly credible and probably true, but reflects a situation that could not be imagined ten -twenty years ago. The Economist describes America's activities in Ukraine, Romania, Hungary, etc. as a battle against corruption, taking as a fact that America is somehow responsible for that area and has the right to impose its political concepts on the hundred million persons inhabiting Eastern Europe or better, Western Russia.

First, it takes for granted and natural that Ukraine, a political entity that formerly was a province of the Soviet Union, has been detached from Russia and is part of the American empire. Second, it never occurs to The Economist that "corruption" is an internal issue and foreign powers - from the other side of the ocean - do not normally intervene in these things. Imagine China intervening in the USA to impose its political habits, its ideas about private property and so. The journal assumes as natural and necessary that the hegemonic power intervenes to impose its civilized norms on corrupt, misgoverned colonized peoples.

I have my doubts if the corruption America is battling in Ukraine is the corruption they imagine or just a local system of doing business and apportioning power and influence. As for me, I have no opinion and do not care. Israeli waiters are not paid a salary, they are supposed to receive tips. In Bauchi where I worked, public functionaries were not paid but support themselves and buy their uniforms by taking "bribes". Is that corruption?

Anyway, the bottom line is that America has succeeded in dividing Russia and turning a large part of it into a hostile country. Ukraine and Russia are in war. And Ukraine is now a country (one of Europe's largest) where American politicians fight out their own rivalries as it was Washington or California.

It is only natural that China fears America, and it fears Hong Kong's movement toward its detachment from China. For all the talk about America's decadence, it is quite imaginable that the 2040 Economist shall comment on "America losing the Battle Against Corruption in the Canton-Fujian Republic".


George Vari, a Jewish Life Wasted


Gyuri bacsi, aka George Vari, was a Hungarian Jewish engineer born in the same village as Sarkozy, the French President (another Hungarian Jew). Vari (meaning "of the castle", that was his Hungarianized name), escaped in 1956 to Austria. We may have shared the same refugee camp in Vienna, an army camp. We emigrated to Argentina, he went to Canada and was very successful. In Toronto married, no children. He lays in a Catholic cemetery. Donated millions to universities, mostly to Toronto's York University.  Pic.: the George Vari Engineering and Computing Center. A typical Hungarian Jewish story of my generation. I deeply identify with people like Vari, they are my better me and I am - in my way - them.


Why am I writing about him? Because in the Vari Hall that carries his name, Arab students carried out a violent mini-pogrom against three Israeli students who came to speak. These things make my blood to boil, because I had met many Jewish donors like George Vari who arrived to the annual meeting of the Board of Directors of Tel Aviv University. They shared with me their life history and their hard way to financial success (nobody else had the patience to hear the poignant tales of these very rich men and women). While touring the campus, Palestinian students organized noisy protests and I was at a loss how to justify their generous donations for buildings and laboratories and scholarships - only to be used and abused by our enemies.

The hate showered on the Jewish boys and girls in the Vari Hall of York University made me cringe, seeing my people's generosity serving anti-Semitic hate. In my times at TAU, the university "sold" Jewish donors scholarships for Arab students, who wrote - under some compulsion - shameless fake thank you letters detailing how they loved Jews. I am tempted to advise to Jewish philanthropes NOT to give a cent to them, not a single dollar for projects that, eventually will promote their hate against us, but give their resources - and these are very generous people - to Jewish causes alone. Say no to University of Tel Aviv and other non-Jewish Universities. Specially say no to York University and the likes of it.

Iconic Chinese Sculpture

Traditionally, the speculators who expect better times and valuations are called bulls, while the pessimists are bears. On Wall Street, in front of the NYSE building, stands the iconic sculpture of a furiously charging bull. It is a tourist attraction and Chinese visitors love to rub its testicles, which shine as new.

The Hong Kong stock exchange also has an iconic sculpture of not one, but two philosophically ruminating Asian bulls.

A chacun son gout. 

The Paper Factory Mystery

I follow several stock exchange analysts and read the Maya board of company announcements. About two-three weeks ago most analysts and journalists wrote shining articles about the prospects of Niyar Hadera, the Hadera Paper Factory, that had invested in technology and was going to prosper. A stupid saver (moi), having some remote and dated knowledge of the factory through a small consulting job twenty years ago, believed it all and invested his hardly earned savings in the paper.

As if someone from above had been watching and waiting for the signal, the share price immediately halved. Since it never happened to me that the day after buying a share its price doubled, I suspect unnatural intervention. The hand of a superior being was made visible through this strange happening.

I hope it will be cornered and sent to jail.

Judaism and Zionism

Judaism is not a religion, it is a multiracial ethnia. Most Jews do not practice any religion at all and do not know nor believe in the Bible. German Martin Luther already accused the Jews of pretending to be a religion while they were a separate nation. They are not and never were a race, genetically, Jews carry genes from every human variety.

Zionism is the anticolonial liberation movement of the Jews. Jews in the Diaspora were and are oppressed and colonized: they are forced to speak their colonizer's Arian language, they are brainwashed to adopt their bizarre culture and traditions, and they are and always were attacked and killed by colonizer "extremists" and organizations. Even this last years they were killings of Jews per Jews in the USA, France and Argentina. Hungarian Jews live hiding their identities, change their names and fear to reveal their origin.

Against this psychical and physical oppression rose the Zionist movement 130 years ago and is striving to liberate the frightened Jew from the complexes of its colonized past, and leading the armed fight provide the Jews their own free and safe country.

Trump Righting Wrongs

Today, the United States adopted an important policy that rights a historical wrong when the Trump administration clearly rejected the false claim that Israeli settlements in Judea and Samaria are inherently illegal under international law. (Source: Bibi)

Shiraz burning, the West trembling

In the last four days has been no internet in Iran, as the Ayatollahs try to disrupt the co-ordination of the countrywide protests. Almost no news of what is happening in Iran: is this a passing grievance protest or an armed revolt? I heard in the radio that Shiraz was burning, all the banks and Army shops have been broken in and sacked, and the rebels had armed themselves with weapons taken from police stations. Their goal is to stop Iran's foreign wars: Yemen, Iraq, Syria and Gaza. Lebanese mercenaries are deserting and trying to leave the country. I love Shiraz because of its superb red wine and of course, Omar Kayyam poems. One day I may visit it. On second thought, the fanatic Ayatollahs may have forbidden the wine. Islam forbids alcohol, allows sex and drugs. The Infidels!

Regarding those Infidels: While the West is trembling and paralyzed in face of Islamic terrorism and aggression, China is showing the way. China, fearlessly, jailed one million Muslims to educate them in civilization and patriotism. The West, instead of following its luminous example, is piously condemning China's "inhumanity". Does not the West deserve, therefore, that bomb in the crowded Madrid train station, that heavy truck deliberately driven into Berlin Christmas street market, that minibus crashing into the English Parliament and killing policemen and cyclists? or that bloody massacre in the Charlie Hebdo magazine office?
